Some ideas for what to do with this please!

I bought this 74×31 hunk of glass from work (lowes) today and I have no idea what to make out of it. It’s from a door and came with a matching screen. Needless to say I didn’t pay very much at all for it, but I was considering making a massive coffee table, but thought it would be fun to get some ideas from the jocks. So please share some of your expertise in creativeness!

I like the idea about using that as the top of a hutch. If you are going to make a table from it you would definitely need a frame underneath since it’s only 1/4”. I think it would be neat to make a frame that matched the lines in the glass and supported it. I don’t know how to bend wood and if you don’t either this might be a good reason to learn.It would be a huge coffee table though. Maybe a dining room table would be better.

I was watching “Freeform Furniture” on the DIY network the other day. They spread shattered glass on the back of a piece of glass and then poured clear epoxy over it. Combined with the window decoration, that would make a really neat effect.

I think it might be too big for a coffee table, but perhaps a patio table. Or (just a brainstorm) what if you made a display case/plant stand and used the glass for the back? You could put it against a window, and the light would shine through. That would be a great, original piece for a covered porch or sunroom.

If you’re going to use it as a tabletop, make sure there’s somthing under it for support. How thin that caming is on the glass makes me worried, putting one heavy item in the center would probably cause a pretty big mess. Otherwise, nice score!

With a solid frame for support this could also make a nice desk. I have a glass and steel desk in my office and love it. The glass is 3/8” and has a simple frame with cross beams for support. Yep – you should definitely do the desk… :-)
